This workshop assembled a diverse group of experts, including atmospheric chemists and physicists and aquatic chemists,
biochemists and biologists to address the possible ramifcations of changing Ultraviolet levels on ...

Subducted seamounts have been linked to interplate earthquakes, but their specific effects on earthquake mechanism remain controversial. A key question is under what conditions a subducted seamount will generate or stop ...

The effects of temperature and diet on the growth of captive year 0 specimens of Opansus tau were examined for two consecutive year classes. The 2001 year class was raised at about 23, 26, or 29°C and provided with live ...

Toxin-producing blooms of dinoflagellates in the genus Alexandrium have plagued the inhabitants of the Salish Sea for centuries. Yet the environmental conditions that promote accelerated growth of this organism, a producer ...

The dynamic influence of thermohaline circulation on wind-driven circulation in the South China Sea (SCS) is studied using a simple reduced gravity model, in which the upwelling driven by mixing in the abyssal ocean is ...

We investigated the potential effects of elevated ozone (O3) along with climate variability, increasing CO2, and land use change on net primary productivity (NPP) and carbon storage in China's terrestrial ecosystems for ...

Relatively little is known about the role of turbulence in a predator - prey system where the
predator is a passive, pelagic forager. The Campanulariid hydroid Clytia gracilis (Cnidaria,
Hydrozoa) is unusual because it ...

Mapping and sampling of 18 eruptive units in two study areas along the Galápagos Spreading Center (GSC) provide insight into how magma supply affects mid-ocean ridge (MOR) volcanic eruptions. The two study areas have similar ...

As part of the Georges Bank/North West Atlantic GLOBEC (Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics) Program, macrozooplankton and micronekton were collected on 30 Broad Scale Survey Cruises between January – June, 1995 –1999, using ...

Eutrophication is a major agent of change affecting freshwater, estuarine, and marine
systems. It is largely driven by transportation of nitrogen from natural and anthropogenic
sources. Research is needed to quantify ...

Setup, the increase in the mean water level associated with breaking waves, observed between the shoreline and about 6-m water depth on an ocean beach is predicted well by a model that includes the effects of wave rollers ...

A two-phase model is implemented to study the effects of wave shape on the transport of coarse-grained sediment in the sheet flow regime. The model is based on balance equations for the average mass, momentum, and fluctuation ...

The Autonomous Benthic Explorer (ABE) is an unmanned underwater vehicle being
developed for scientific study of the deep ocean sea:floor. ABE will be completely
autonomous from the surface which means that the lifetime ...

The general theme of this thesis is the study of systematic mathematical techniques
for determining the ocean circulation from classical hydrographic data. Two aspects of
this theme are analyzed. The first is finding an ...

Site-directed RNA editing (SDRE) is a strategy to precisely alter genetic information within mRNAs. By linking the catalytic domain of the RNA editing enzyme ADAR to an antisense guide RNA, specific adenosines can be ...

We use high-definition seafloor digital imagery and multibeam bathymetric data acquired during the 2007 Arctic Gakkel Vents Expedition (AGAVE) to evaluate the volcanic characteristics of the 85°E segment of the ultraslow ...

EGenBio is a system for manipulation and filtering of large numbers of sequences,
integrating curated sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees, managing evolutionary analyses, and visualizing their output. EGenBio is ...
